| 2007 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | ON JUNE 2, 2008 THE ESC (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHT ON THE DASH INDICATED THE ESC WAS NOT ENGAGED. IT WENT OFF AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR AND RESTARTED. THE LIGHT CAME ON 2 MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT 4 DAYS. ON JUNE 6, I WAS MAKING A "Y" TURN ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THE SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF DRIVE. HAVING READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL PREVIOUSLY, I POPPED THE BUTTON ON TOP OF THE SHIFT CONSOLE AND PUSHED THE BUTTON WITH MY KNIFE. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO REVERSE, BUT THE SHIFT LOCKED DOWN AGAIN KEEPING ME FROM GOING INTO DRIVE. I HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY DEALER ON JUNE 16. THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND STICKING CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SINCE I HAVE ONLY 8,456 MILES ON THE CAR, WARRANTY COVERED THE REPAIR. *TR |
| 2010 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR | I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE DOOR HANDLES ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES. I DRIVE A HYUNDAI SONATA AND HAVE HAD THE DOOR HANDLE BREAK OFF THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN MY HAND. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET FIXED, I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, THEY REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME STYLE HANDLE AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. MY CONCERN WITH THIS, BESIDES THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE COMPANY, IS THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD IN A CARSEAT IN MY CAR WITH ME ALMOST ALWAYS. IF THE DOOR HANDLES CONTINUE TO BREAK OFF, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO ENTER THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND SHE IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR IN HER CARSEAT. *TR |
